Ron Paul is going to be joined at the hip with Lew Rockwell if he somehow wins.
The may not represent his views.
But I question the veracity of a man who says he does not know WHO wrote letters under his name, published by him.
I can’t imagine any case where you would publish something without knowing who wrote it.
Did Ron find this stuff written on scrolls that appeared on his porch?
You can’t be president if you don’t know who’ writing inflammatory stuff you “happen” to publish.
So no matter who wrote it, Ron’s either a DOLT or a RACIST.
I understand he was the publisher. Suggesting that he was only peripherally involved is silly. Does anyone think this sort of cr@p might have gone out in National Review while Wm Buckley was alive? The closest thing I can recall to this is the stuff that Pat Buchanan wrote. In response to criticism Buckley devoted an entire issue to consider the question: Is Patrick Buchanan anti-Semitic? For Ron Paul, everything in his newsletter was peaches and cream.
But I guess it's more important for the MSM to smear the good men.
ML/NJ
The Democrats wouldn’t have an opposition file on Paul, they’d have an opposition warehouse.
Yeah that one crosses the line. In fact it's flat out wrong, while their certainly are many poor black families in DC, there are also many upper-middle class ones (mostly federal employees) who think about as much of the lower class criminal blacks as any other race.
* "We are constantly told that it is evil to be afraid of black men, it is hardly irrational."
I assume the writer was refering to the higher rates of crime among black men, while this was poorly phrased. I think it was aimed more a political correctness than race.
* After the Los Angeles riots, one article in a newsletter claimed, "Order was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to pick up their welfare checks."
Andrew Dice Clay should sue Ron Paul for plagarism, I remember this joke in his routine back in the 1990's.
* One referred to Martin Luther King Jr. as "the world-class philanderer who beat up his paramours" and who "seduced underage girls and boys"
It's not polite to talk about since society has decided to deify MLK, but most serious biographers would admit this is at least partially true.
* Another referred to Barbara Jordan, a civil rights activist and congresswoman as "Barbara Morondon," the "archetypical half-educated victimologist."
Yeah, that sounds like her, although the "Morondon" was a little juvenile.
* Other newsletters had strange conspiracy theories about homosexuals, the CIA, and AIDS.
Well this IS from Ron Paul, what do you expect?
I would NEVER vote for Paul (in the primaries)...he sits behind Romney in my view.
but most of what the quotes represent sound like sociological studies not racist rambling by Paul...
just my $0.02
Never mind that some of it might actually be true...
We must all take turns beating our breast and proclaiming loudly that we too carry water for “diversity”.
Thats almost as screwy as someone sitting in church for 20 years while your minister spewed racist anti-american non-sense and yet you claim you didn’t know anything about it.
Who in their right mind would believe that?
Oh,wait..nevermind.
YES, WE KNOW. PAULBOTS HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT BEFORE THE BI-BLOG JUST RE-HASHED THE SAME STORY!

Why? The bi-blog isn't on the excerpt-only list. Is the bi-blog paying you?
I’ll be watching this to see if any of the Paul cult koolaid drinkers respond. So far they avoid the issue, call the newsletters fake or say they don’t care.
His defense, "I didn't do it, and I don't know who did it and I don't agree with it but I didn't know it was being done," sounds like eric holder testifying before congress about fast and furious.
Both of them are lying about some aspect of what happened.
Holder knew and Paul knew.
Maybe neither one sold a gun nor wrote a word, but being in charge, means just saying, "I take full responsibility", means it's your ass on the line and you take the punishment that comes with the screw up.
Looks like even CBS is picking up on the Ron Paul racism:
Ron Paul disavows racist newsletters under his name
Time for the GOP to throw that crackpot bum out once and for all.
Actually, I've read a dozen totally different "authorized" "real stories" from "I know Ron Paul and the real story and the real person who wrote these articles on an unauthorized basis and dang-it he even kept writing after Dr. Pauls said don't write them and he had to publish them because they were written and our erasers were stolen by the crypto fascists from Albania" Ron Paul supporters. Paul is either a racist or too incompetent to be President. Or a nut. Or all three. I'm betting on the trifecta.
Oust Ron Paul NOW!
Misses the point, so far as Murray Rothbard was concerned though. Rothbard was always going to extremes. He had an insensitivity about things like this. It was part of who he was. And it didn't change or go away.
Nobody would seriously expect Rothbard to be a convinced and committed racist, but that blind spot about slavery and segregation was pretty glaring. You could say something similar about Rockwell. And Paul? Hard to say.
Most of what he says in these quotes, and a few others I’ve seen, are true, or nearly true, with some mild exaggeration.
They just aren’t politically correct.
But not very smart for anyone to say who is planning to run for President.
Now Paul is denying any responsibility for saying these things. Well, it was his newsletter, so he’s responsible, whether he wrote them or not. I think he probably did.
So, say something largely true but politically correct, and then lie about it. Or, from the leftist point of view, speak like a racist. They will continue to hit him with this.
Martin Luther King WAS a womanizer. I think I recall that he had two affairs on the day he died. And he plagiarized his Harvard thesis. He wasn’t a bad guy, in many ways, but he had these little problems. And toward the time of his death, he was becoming a rabble rouser in places like Dearborn, unfortunately.
Ron Paul is like a guy who drives a bank robbery get-away car for 15 years and then denies knowing that his gang was robbing banks all those times he was sitting outside.
Paul, Rockwell, and Rothbard are/were JBS-style, “old right” palaeolibertarians with a fixation on the evils of “Zionism.”
